'I'm a learner rider and cant filter through traffic. I would've been delayed by 30-40 mins without the officer on the bike clearing a path through traffic for me.'

Grover works for the New South Wales State Emergency Service, according to social media posts.

His message was reposted by Traffic Police NSW Facebook page, before going viral.

Footage shows the officer waving Grover into an empty lane before pulling out ahead of him and guiding him through the packed streets

While some have praised the officer's kind-hearted actions, other have criticised him for allowing Grover to jump the queues

It has since divided opinion online, where some have praised the officer, but other have accused Grover of getting special treatment.

Don Taubman wrote: 'What a top bloke. Everyone has to start somewhere and he's shown that he's got some compassion.

'Maybe, just maybe he had someone look out for him when he was learning, now he's paying it forward.'

David Tumminello added: 'He might have seen the l plates and realised that he couldn't filter so thought he would help out an inexperienced rider as he was riding around. Good police officer and a credit to the community he serves and protect.'
